Theatre Kingston presents Bakersfield Mist

Experience the enthralling live performance of “Bakersfield Mist” at the Kingston Grand Theatre, presented by Theatre Kingston. This compelling comedy-drama, inspired by true events, is a fascinating journey into the world of art and authenticity. The story revolves around Maude, a vivacious fifty-something unemployed bartender living in a trailer park, who discovers what she believes is a lost masterpiece by Jackson Pollock in a thrift store. Initially undervalued, the painting becomes the center of her universe, potentially transforming her life from rags to riches. The narrative skillfully blends humor with deep, introspective moments, captivating audiences with its unexpected twists and emotional depth.

The plot thickens with the arrival of Lionel Percy, a world-class art expert from New York, to Maude’s trailer in Bakersfield. His task to authenticate the painting becomes a profound exploration of the nature of art, and what it means to be truly authentic, both in art and in life. “Bakersfield Mist” is not just a play, but a reflection on culture, class, and the often blurred lines between the genuine and the counterfeit.

Evening performances begin at 7:30 PM with additional 2:30 PM matinees on selected dates.
